Message: <blockquote data-quote="Raven Crowking" data-source="post: 3849471" data-attributes="member: 18280">Perhaps they believed that they would have at least one year from the announcement to the advent of 4e?  That means they could have completed two Pathfinder arcs, thus building a following for their new product, and still be able to switch editions with WotC.Of course, this assumes that they expected at least a year from announcement to 4e, which is what WotC had previously stated.  In this case, WotC taking over the helm of Dungeon and Dragon would perhaps have seemed more about controlling information flow about the build-up to 4e rather than the imminent release of 4e.With their APs in Dungeon, Paizo demonstrated that they had a viable product that generated a high level of interest in the gaming public.  They would have been foolish to not follow through on the momentum they had already generated.  And it is always possible to complete a 3.5 Pathfinder arc while selling 4.0 Game Mastery modules.Just speculating, of course.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />RC</blockquote>
